The barrels B connect below the cheek-valves F with the suction-tube G by the branches H, and at the lower end they are tted with removable plugs J to let the water run out iu cold weather, said plugs being kept in place by the sliding keys K. The top of the pumpstock is closed bya cap, which is v firmly secured by the yokes N tted under the shoulders 0,' and connected to the crossbars M on the top. The spout P is fitted for screwing on a hose or a cap to close it, and in the cap L is a screw-hole forattaching the pipe P, if desired, said hole being closed by a screw-plug, Q, which may be secured in the spout-hole, whereas the spout is fitted in the top. y The journal-bearings of theshaft are packed byelarnps R, or stuffing-boxes maybe used, if preferred. This construction makes a very sim ple suction and forcei-pump for farm and railroad use, as well as for extinguishing fires, and being suitable for hand or power.
